In 2009, it was announced that the next convention would be held at the Whispering Woods Hotel and Conference Center in Olive Branch, Mississippi, making it the first time the convention would be held outside of the city of Memphis.[1]

Tiger Haven has been the convention charity for Mephit Furmeet every year since 2001 and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. Through 2009, MFM has raised more than $100,000 for Tiger Haven and is their largest single contributor. More than $15,000 was raised for Tiger Haven at 2004. As of 2005, there is an enclosure bearing MFM's name that was funded entirely with donations from the convention attendees.
